"ïðàâäÓ". Õîòÿ, âåðîÿòíî, òû ïðîñòî îïèñÀëñÿ. Just a little question. Is it possible to say: "Can you give me an advice?", or, course "advice" is uncountable, I have to say: "Can you give me advice?". Or, may be it's better to use a frase "a piece of advice"?

Sorry about not declining correctly, I was in a hurry. I also need more practice.

As for your question, you can say "a piece of advice," but it isn't common. What comes to me off the top of my head is:

"Can you give me some advice?"

That's how I would ask the question.

When I think of the question, some common, other ways to say the same thing are:

"Can I ask you a question?"
"Can you help me out?"
"Can I ask you something?"

You are right, you don't need the article "an" in front of advice.

Mast,

Relax, my friend, drop that inferiority complex!

Here's what your shrewd critic Shpulka wrote:

"To Mastodon.
Êàê ñòóäåíò, èçó÷àþùèé ðóññêèé, Âàì äîëæíî áûòü èçâåñòíî, ÷òî â Ðîññèè âîîáùå âñå, ÷òî êàñàåòñÿ èñòîðèè êðàéíå òóìàííî è èìååò ìíîæåñòâî âåðñèé è èíòåðïðåòàöèé. "

Whereas in that clause the word "ñòóäåíò" should have come out in Dative, i.e. ñòóäåíòÓ, èçó÷àþùåìÓ...!

You see, she made the very same and identical error you made!

Funny, isn't it?
